Chapter 177

Yin Shi.

Rumbling--

The wind and heavy rain made the door frame creak.

The candles in the room flickered slightly, and the veil hanging on the door curtain floated in the air.

Chu Qinghe was awakened by the thunder, and Qingzhu slept on the soft couch outside.

She rolled out of bed and put on a thick cloak.

Walking out alone holding a lantern.

The night watchmen outside the sleeping hall were dozing off, but when they saw her coming out, they were all trembling.

"your Highness."

She waved her hand indifferently, "I'll go for a walk."

There was a large group of people kneeling down, the princess was mainly caught cold in the middle of the night, and they were not taking good care of her.

When the emperor and prince know about this, they will definitely not let them go.

"Your Highness, please think again."

Chu Qinghe was a little helpless, and she also had a whim.

Forget it, don't bother in the middle of the night.

"Go back."

Then he returned to the bedroom with a lantern.

She hung the lantern under the window sill, and gently opened a small crack, but the picture of the dark night in which she could not see her fingers was not seen.

She laughed at herself, too, how could the palace of the nobles in this palace be shrouded in darkness.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Chu Qinghe feels that according to this trend, some places in Chu State will either burst their embankments or flood.

It's really not beautiful.

I don't know if there will be heavy rain on the day when the prince's brother goes out in three days?
Qingzhu was awakened by the cool wind, and when she woke up, she saw Chu Qinghe sitting alone on the soft step beside the bed, the window in front of her was wide open.

She walked over in fear, "Your Highness, the servant has neglected his duty, and I ask the princess to punish her." Today, she slept so dead that she didn't even feel the princess waking up at night. She is really outrageous.

"Get up," Chu Qinghe said with a hoarse voice due to sitting for a long time, "Look, Qingzhu, the palace is always brightly lit."

Chu Qinghe turned her back to Qingzhu, Qingzhu couldn't see her expression clearly, but after following her for so long, she felt that Chu Qinghe was not in a good mood.

"What happened to the princess tonight?" She slowed down her voice, "What the princess wants to do, Qingzhu will definitely help the princess to do it."

"Qing Zhu, I remember that you are the person who stays with me the longest."

Qingzhu didn't know what Chu Qinghe was going to do when he suddenly mentioned this matter, "Yes, the servant has been with the princess for ten years."

Of the four first-class maids around the princess, she is the only one who has been with the princess the longest, and she also knows some things the princess does in private.

Compared with the other three, the princess will take her with her wherever she goes.

For the sake of the princess, no one in this palace would call her Aunt Qingzhu.

Chu Qinghe turned her head and smiled at Qing Zhu, "Is there anyone you like?"

"Princess," Qing Zhu knelt down suddenly, "I want to be with the princess forever."

Chu Qinghe shook his head, walked over, helped Qingzhu who was kneeling on the ground, took her hand and patted it twice, "It's been ten years, now you are twenty-five."

"Yes."

Chu Qinghe was more serious than ever, "Leave the palace, I will find a lover for you, after marrying, you will be the wife of the family, and you will not be wronged."

Qingzhu lowered her head, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing, she didn't dare to lose her composure in front of Chu Qinghe, she held back her crying and choked up, "Does the princess dislike Qingzhu's old age?"

"Silly girl, being a wife is not much better than being a maid for the rest of my life."

Qingzhu shook her head, "My life was given by the princess, and I will repay the princess for the rest of my life."

She still remembers that snowy day ten years ago.

At that time, my father was just a small prefect of Beidi.

In the mid-winter of that year, my father returned to Beijing to report on his work, and escorted the Manzi's gift for peace.

It was the first time for her to come to the capital, and she felt the prosperity and witnessed the treachery of the court.

Because of her meritorious service in governance, her father is expected to be promoted and transferred back to the capital.

The emperor wanted to cultivate her father and wanted to transfer him to the household department.

It's a pity that the top and bottom of the household department are colluding, even with the support of the emperor, they will inevitably be framed.

Her father was suddenly framed and collaborating with the enemy. The framers had been prepared and traveled thousands of miles to the north to make perfect false evidence.

Perhaps the situation in the capital is inherently complicated, and it's because their family thinks things too simply.

Under the conclusive evidence, their family couldn't argue with each other.

The father wanted to see the emperor, but was mistaken for resistance and was beheaded on the spot.

My mother thought too much and the environment in the prison was difficult, so she soon became ill and died.

Within ten days, she saw her parents off one after another, and her tears were all gone.

Soon she would go down to meet them too.

On the day of the execution, the snow fell heavily, and the ground was very cold.

She clearly remembered that from morning to noon, her thin body was covered with a thick layer of snow, her slender and thick eyelashes were covered by snow, and the lower half of her body was buried in the snowdrift.

It was freezing cold, it was too cold, my body was trembling uncontrollably, my teeth were shaking constantly, and in the end I couldn't feel the whole mouth, and my face was stiff.

In the world of ice and snow, she didn't know what kept her from falling, and she was a little confused in the end.

She only remembered the moment when the knife fell and heard the sound of "da da da" horseshoes.

In the distance, a man galloped over on horseback.

"Your Majesty has an order to keep people under the sword."

She heard the pardon order in a trance, as if she had been waiting for this moment, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, her eyelids drooped heavily, and her eyes went dark.

When I woke up again, my injuries were healed.

It is said that Princess Ronghua was ill, and the emperor pardoned her life in order to bless her.

Although she was the only one left in the huge Wu family, she survived anyway.

In order to repay the princess and to survive, she voluntarily sold herself into the palace as a maid.

From a first-rank official girl to a court lady, she has learned to live carefully and learn to read people's faces.

After entering the palace, she studied etiquette desperately and tried her best in everything.

Finally got his wish and came to Princess Ronghua.

Princess Ronghua recognized her immediately.

It turned out that the person who has been taking care of her was sent by her, and she promised that she would take revenge with her own hands in the future.

Although Princess Ronghua is only a five-year-old child, she understands everything. .

It turned out that the princess was sick on purpose that day, and deliberately mentioned her in front of the emperor.

It turns out that the princess has such lofty ideals and ambitions.

She is willing to accompany the princess and do what she wants to do.

Qing Zhu withdrew from the memory, knelt down heavily, wiped away the tears on her face, and said firmly, "I also ask the princess to be fulfilled, and this servant is willing to serve you all my life."

"Hey--"

"Why are you doing this? The Chu Kingdom is in turmoil. You can leave while I am still a princess and still have the ability." She turned around and looked at the rain outside the window melancholy.

"The world is so big, where can I live, and my slaves are willing to advance and retreat with the princess." Qingzhu kowtowed heavily, she didn't know that the palace is full of panic and everyone is in danger.

Everywhere is full of wars, and she wants to protect the people she wants to protect.

"Forget it, get up."

Chu Qinghe had no choice but to say, "You can stay in the future, and just say so when you want to leave."

"Thank you, Princess, for making it happen!" Qing Zhu burst into tears of gratitude.

"Tomorrow, go draw up a list of people who want to leave the palace, and let them all leave the palace when the day is right."

"Yes!"
